Mike's Article

During the month of October, we celebrated International Credit Union Month as well as International Credit Union (ICU) Day which was on the third Thursday. ICU Day has been celebrated since 1948. This time is used to celebrate credit unions as not for profit financial cooperatives. 

Credit unions work in a cooperative manner solely for the benefit of the members! This is a distinction that should not be overlooked. For-profit banks will say that they are locally owned and operated. Locally owned means that the bank is solely owned by a group of investors or potentially the family that started the bank. Credit unions are member owned and operated. Each member has equal ownership, equal input into the operations and can serve in a voluntary role on the board of directors. 

When you are member owned and operated – all decisions can be made with the members’ best interest at heart. Why would anyone not want to be part of a credit union that works cooperatively to help and benefit all members!

An example of what can be done - two days before International Credit Union Day as part of our celebration, WV Central provided checks to 50 charitable groups in our local communities. The total amount given out on that day totaled $120,000.00.

We could not be successful without the support of each of our members. Please allow us to be part of your financial future and be sure to encourage all those around you to benefit from being part of a member owned and operated credit union.

We are here to help!

Lisa Dornic's Story

Well if it wasn’t for WVCCU I don’t know what I would have done. My dad passed away last year and when I went to do my taxes from receiving inheritance I found myself in a pickle because of what I owed to the IRS as well as since Covid hit and dealing with a divorce I found myself living paycheck to paycheck and using my credit cards a lot. I reached out to WVCCU and received a call from Kayla Corbin who was amazing! She was able to quickly help me get a consolation loan set up. It was so simple doing everything on line and not having to go in to WVCCU and possibly missing work to do so. I definitely would recommend Kayla to anyone! Kudos to Kayla and WVCCU! Thank you all!
